Swift changes a bunch of defaults from Clang. I don't think that consistency with cl
is important if we don't think /MT
mode is ever going to be a priority.

Does this mean that if you build using clang
from swift-clang
the behaviour of clang
is different from clang
from llvm.org?
No, sorry, I just meant things Swift does that Clang also does. For example:
- different default language mode (
gnu11
) - modules always on
- always ARC when using ObjC
-
-pie
by default - link using
gold
by default
(I mean, yes, swift-clang
also differs from clang
in some ways, but not usually in terms of defaults.)
Sounds good; in that case, lets go with the default of /MD
which IMO is the preferred mode of usage (you have a DLL MSVCRT which makes the resultant code distributable and usable with other libraries).
